Abstract

A communication scheme and a system thereof for converging IoT technology and a 5 th generation (5G) communication system for supporting a high data transmission rate beyond that of a 4 th generation (4G) system is provided. The disclosure can be applied to intelligent services (for example, services related to a smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, retail business, security, and safety) based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology.

Claims (59)

1. A method performed by a terminal in a communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station, a system information block (SIB) configuring an idle/inactive state reference signal (IRS) resource for an idle state or an inactive state, wherein an IRS availability indication is enabled based on a configuration in the SIB;

receiving, from the base station, downlink control information (DCI), wherein the DCI includes the IRS availability indication indicating presence of an IRS in a specific time interval in case that the configuration enables the IRS availability indication and the IRS is received according to an IRS type B; and

receiving, from the base station, the IRS in the specific time interval while the idle state or the inactive state,

wherein the specific time interval is determined based on a reception timing of the DCI including IRS availability indication and a paging cycle, and

wherein:

one of an IRS type A or the IRS type B is determined based on a periodicity of the IRS,

the IRS type A is defined as a type in which the IRS is always present in IRS occasions, and

the IRS type B is defined as a type in which the IRS is present or not present in the IRS occasions.

2. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the SIB includes information on power control offset, scrambling ID, periodicity, and offset associated with the IRS,

wherein the power control offset indicates ratio of a non-zero power (NZP) channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) energy per resource element (EPRE) and a physical broadcast channel and synchronization signal (SS/PBCH) block EPRE.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the IRS is unavailable after receiving the SIB until receiving the DCI including the IRS availability indication.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the DCI includes a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) scrambled with a paging-radio network temporary identifier (P-RNTI).

5. A method performed by a base station in a communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a terminal, a system information block (SIB) configuring an idle/inactive state reference signal (IRS) resource for an idle state or an inactive state, wherein an IRS availability indication is enabled based on a configuration in the SIB;

transmitting, to the terminal, downlink control information (DCI), wherein the DCI includes the IRS availability indication indicating presence of an IRS in a specific time interval in case that the configuration enables the IRS availability indication and the IRS is transmitted according to an IRS type B; and

transmitting, to the terminal, the IRS in the specific time interval while the terminal is in the idle state or the inactive state,

wherein the specific time interval is determined based on a transmission timing of the DCI including IRS availability indication and a paging cycle, and

wherein:

one of an IRS type A or the IRS type B is determined based on a periodicity of the IRS,

the IRS type A is defined as a type in which the IRS is always present in IRS occasions, and

the IRS type B is defined as a type in which the IRS is present or not present in the IRS occasions.

6. The method of claim 5 ,

wherein the SIB includes information on power control offset, scrambling ID, periodicity, and offset associated with the IRS, and

wherein the power control offset indicates ratio of a non-zero power (NZP) channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) energy per resource element (EPRE) and a physical broadcast channel and synchronization signal (SS/PBCH) block EPRE.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the IRS is unavailable after transmitting the SIB until transmitting the DCI including the IRS availability indication.

8. The method of claim 5 , wherein the DCI includes a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) scrambled with a paging-radio network temporary identifier (P-RNTI).

9. A terminal in a communication system, the terminal comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor configured to:

receive, from a base station, a system information block (SIB) configuring an idle/inactive state reference signal (IRS) resource for an idle state or an inactive state, wherein an IRS availability indication is enabled based on a configuration in the SIB,

receive, from the base station, downlink control information (DCI), wherein the DCI includes the IRS availability indication indicating presence of the IRS in a specific time interval in case that the configuration enables the IRS availability indication and the IRS is received according to an IRS type B, and

receive, from the base station, the IRS in the specific time interval while the idle state or the inactive state,

wherein the specific time interval is determined based on a reception timing of the DCI including IRS availability indication and a paging cycle, and

wherein:

one of an IRS type A or the IRS type B is determined based on a periodicity of the IRS,

the IRS type A is defined as a type in which the IRS is always present in IRS occasions, and

the IRS type B is defined as a type in which the IRS is present or not present in the IRS occasions.

10. The terminal of claim 9 ,

wherein the SIB includes information on power control offset, scrambling ID, periodicity, and offset associated with the IRS, and

wherein the power control offset indicates ratio of a non-zero power (NZP) channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) energy per resource element (EPRE) and a physical broadcast channel and synchronization signal (SS/PBCH) block EPRE.

11. The terminal of claim 9 , wherein the IRS is unavailable after receiving the SIB until receiving the DCI including the IRS availability indication.

12. The terminal of claim 9 , wherein the DCI includes a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) scrambled with a paging-radio network temporary identifier (P-RNTI).

13. A base station in a communication system, the base station comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor configured to:

transmit, to a terminal, a system information block (SIB) configuring an idle/inactive state reference signal (IRS) resource for an idle state or an inactive state, wherein an IRS availability indication is enabled based on a configuration in the SIB,

transmit, to the terminal, downlink control information (DCI), wherein the DCI includes the IRS availability indication indicating presence of an IRS in a specific time interval in case that the configuration enables the IRS availability indication and the IRS is transmitted according to an IRS type B, and

transmit, to the terminal, the IRS in the specific time interval while the terminal is in the idle state or the inactive state,

wherein the specific time interval is determined based on a transmission timing of the DCI including IRS availability indication and a paging cycle and

wherein:

one of an IRS type A or the IRS type B is determined based on a periodicity of the IRS,

the IRS type A is defined as a type in which the IRS is always present in IRS occasions, and

the IRS type B is defined as a type in which the IRS is present or not present in the IRS occasions.

14. The base station of claim 13 ,

wherein the SIB includes information on power control offset, scrambling ID, periodicity, and offset associated with the IRS, and
